Use of MODIS and Landsat time series data to generate high-resolution temporal synthetic Landsat data using a spatial and temporal reflectance fusion model

Niu, Zheng·2012·Journal of Applied Remote Sensing

Abstract

Due to cloud coverage and obstruction, it is difficult to obtain useful images during the critical periods of monitoring vegetation using medium-resolution spatial satellites such as Landsat and Satellite Pour l'Observation de la Terre (SPOT), especially in pluvial regions. Although high temporal resolution sensors, such as the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), can provide high-frequency data, the coarse ground resolutions of these sensors make them unsuitable to quantify the vegetation growth processes at fine scales. This paper introduces a new data fusion model for blending observations of high temporal resolution sensors (e.g., MODIS) and moderate spatial resolution satellites (e.g., Landsat) to produce synthetic imagery with both high-spatial and temporal resolutions. By detecting temporal change information from MODIS daily surface reflectance images, our algorithm produced high-resolution temporal synthetic Landsat data based on a Landsat-7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) image at the beginning time (T1). The algorithm was then tested over a 185×185 km2 area located in East China. The results showed that the algorithm can produce high-resolution temporal synthetic Landsat data that were similar to the actual observations with a high correlation coefficient (r) of 0.98 between synthetic imageries and the actual observations.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
